Ha ha ha! Oh man, I can totally believe that. But then again, they do have a habit of just making shit up. I don’t know any Mexicans that have ever heard of an “Enchirito” outside of Taco Bell. And what they call a “Gordita” bears very little resemblance to anything on the Taco Bell menu.
Don’t even get me started on…

Yep. I’m a software dev, now. Guess what? No unions. And yet, I’m still compensated fairly and I’ve never had to deal with crunch. The only overtime I work is what I want.

Or, even better, salary non-exempt. Keep your salary, but still get overtime pay!

Why would anyone put up with any of that horseshit, with or without a union? Must suck to not have principles, or principles that can be bought with a little job security (or the illusion thereof).

Not ever. Never. Will never join a union, will never employ a union dev.

And, in doing so, introduced the majority of white people to Mexican food, which was unheard of, at the time.

I love how this thread was jumping your shit, but Michael came through with the lighthearted deference to your lighthearted ribbing. We could all do to have a little more fun, and ya’ll brought it.

Given the new information, I have to agree with you and the commenter you previously quoted, because it seems like there was a clear failure of the device. If a human can see a person for 2 full seconds, then the machine should have been able to recognize them for at least that time, and almost certainly more.

I had read the article, and I understood that the car made no attempt to brake. How is that relevant to the car performing better than a human? Like you note, without all the information (don’t worry, I’m aware of your second comment and am responding to that elsewhere), all we know is that the car performed one way.…

I appreciate your fighting the good fight here, but this commenter dismissed my comments when they got too practical (as well as at least one comment from swag-4days), so I imagine it’s just a matter of time before whatever you say agitates nir enough that ne does the same to you.

Come on, dude. Don’t dismiss comments. That’s childish. You’re free to just ignore it, if you want, but what does it help to try to hide from it?

The sales analytics tell ME that basing what is fundamentally a relationship-based product on hit-based model will let you manipulate the value of your product so that timing can maximize or decimate profits.

I’ll admit, I’ve never seen or heard the strawman you present. Who would’ve thunk?

Ah, if only it were that simple...

Again, it’s not a management issue if you can’t get consumers on board with the situation. It’s a consumer problem. It’s only a management problem insofar as their willingness to tell the consumer that they’re expectations must be mitigated. And that’s a capitalism problem.

Short answer: No, you have no guarantee that your data is safe.

Calculate an average how far off you are, be it 5%, 20%, or whatever, and begin to work readjustments into your development process.

This is, like, a SUPER old meme. I mean, I don’t know if these girls were actually eating mayo, but the premise of pretending to eat mayo is at least as old as those old chain-mail emails that would get passed around pre-social-media.

And let’s not forget all the places that use facebook comments, or facebook like buttons, or facebook’s ad services, or facebook’s [whatever other tracking devices they have come up with], which keep track of people via ‘ghost profiles’. Far more of your data is collected by Facebook (and Google, and Amazon) off-site,…

Maybe you should have read the rest of that thread? Because the obvious counter-argument to that is that there’s nothing to say that the car WASN’T “better than a human.”
